[TV] 24hrs in Police Custody

[Baldseagull]

The Wisbech Tourist Board won’t be enamored by repeated comments about the town in the doc.

I read a comment a few years ago on a news story about racism towards Polish people in Wisbech.
It said "To be fair, there is a big cultural difference between the locals and the Poles, in that the Poles want to work."

And no surprise, a huge Brexit vote region.

My wife’s from Wisbech and I’m from Crawley. I like to think that neither of us conforms to the stereotype. Needless to say we don’t still live in either location.

I lived for a while in a village just outside Wisbech (Goredike Bank) about 20 years ago. Very odd place. At the time there were three maybe four polish shops in the centre. Oddly threatening environment when you went in. I did as I like some of their food. The front windows were covered in small "advert" cards. These apparently contained messages for certain people.

Locals saw them as the mafia.

There were a couple of unexplained disappearances during our time there.

Did they turnip?

Did they turnip?

Dangled the carrot but alas nothing. They knew their onions. Bean running ever since.

There were gangmaster problems.

Just watched both episodes.

Very sad story all round, about the only featured person I don't have any sympathy for is the guilty party.

Did you watch the credits/messages at the very end? Startling how many relatively youngish folk passed away all told .

Reminded me of a UK version of the US OxyContin/heroin towns eg the one featured in a Louis Theroux doc.

Yep, that was what made me find it all so sad.

One of the things I noticed was that they continued to interview him even after he had asked for a solicitor!! I can only assume that was because he continued to answer questions despite requesting a solicitor.

Sad case to see how drugs decimate lives.

As for Wisbech, clearly never recovered from that 10-1 drubbing!

 

[The Wookiee]

We went there 2 years ago to visit a National Trust property, it was a jewel in the middle of a dump.
Just started watching and already it's a fascinating watch.

The only thing I know about Wisbech is that it’s the football team that we have our record win against 10-1

Similarly sympathetic to all, even a little for the culprit, as I wondered who he would have been if he hadn't had the accident at work that led to his addiction.

Just started on C4.

Two bullies in a tower block, one is bipolar.

 

[Springal]

Anyone else open this thread in expectation that the Albion calendar thief had been apprehended?
